You do not have permission to delete messages in this group
Either email addresses are anonymous for this group or you need the view member email addresses permission to view the original message
to Thunderbird Webmail Extension
SOLUTION: As Hotmail is a POP3 account, not IMAP, following these
steps is the simplest way. You need to:
* Create a 'Temp' folder in Hotmail
* Select all your messages in your Hotmail Inbox and move them to a
new 'Temp' folder
* Create a 'Temp' folder in Thunderbird
* Select all your messages in your TB Inbox and move them to a new
'Temp' folder
* Say you want to copy all your messages from your 'Finance' sub
folder from Hotmail to Thunderbird. For each of the messages you have
in 'Finance' sub-folder, move all these messages to your Inbox
* Go to Thunderbird and refresh - this will bring all of Hotmail's
Inbox through to TB (they're actually the Finance folder messages now)
* Create a new 'Finance' folder in Thunderbird
* Move all of the messages in your TB inbox to the new 'Finance'
folder
* Go back to Hotmail and follow the same process for each sub folder,
copying all the messages in each sub folder one by one to your Inbox,
then into TB.
* Done!
